CENTRAL’S HISTORY As a result of action taken by the Arkansas Missionary Baptist Association at its organizational meeting in Little Rock, Arkansas, November 14-15, 1950, a committee began investigating proposals for a permanent location for a college to be founded by the Association. The school was established as the Arkansas Baptist Extension School in Little Rock at that time. At the Association’s next session (Warren, Arkansas, November 13-14, 1951), the committee recommended the purchase of the former Central College in Conway, Arkansas, where a junior college would be opened in September 1952. The recommendation was unanimously adopted by the messengers from the cooperating churches, and a fund raising campaign was opened at that session. At the end of the campaign (September 1, 1952), title to the property was acquired by the trustees of the churches of the Arkansas Missionary Baptist Association; and the College was opened under the name of Conway Baptist College the same month. The school’s name was changed to Central Baptist College in 1962 to reflect its evolving mission. During its short history, Central has experienced considerable change. Since 1952 enrollment has grown from a dozen students to more than 800. The faculty has increased from 5 to approximately 90, and library holdings have multiplied dramatically. Even with the razing of historic Old Main in 1984, the number of campus buildings has more than doubled. Central recently completed Phase 1 of a capital fundraising campaign, Vision 2020: A Miracle in the Making. Vision 2020 is a plan to complete 10 major construction projects over 10 years to accommodate an enrollment of 2,020 students. Phase I included three major projects. Project #1, the construction of the David T. Watkins Academic Building; Project #2, the construction of the Story Library; and Project #3, the construction of a new student housing, Dickson Hall. Plans for Phase II are in the planning stages. Central Baptist College remains a college committed to the integration of Christian faith and academic excellence.

CENTRAL’S MISSION AND PHILOSOPHY Central Baptist College is committed to transforming lives through education that integrates Christian faith and academic excellence in a Christ-centered environment. The thrust of present-day educational philosophy is education of the whole person. A learned individual has achieved physical, mental, social, and spiritual maturity. Central Baptist College accepts that philosophy, but it holds to the conviction that spiritual development should be given much more attention than it receives in many institutions of higher learning. We believe that spiritual experiences and attitudes can markedly affect physical, mental and social development and that faith is necessary to meet daily experiences and responsibilities.

Students are encouraged to attend worship services in a local church. 4. Students are encouraged to read the Bible and have a brief prayer or devotional time daily.

Section III:
Campus Life... CHRISTIAN FOCUS Since 1952, Central Baptist College has focused on the education of the whole student. Students can attend most institutions of higher education and feel certain that they will experience intellectual growth and probably even experience emotional and physical growth. Central Baptist College is unique in that it is most concerned with the spiritual growth of the student, and that growth is fostered on a daily basis. The core mission of Central Baptist College, educating students in a Christ-focused environment, has not changed. Integrating Christian faith and academic excellence while instilling in students a commitment to lifelong learning, spiritual development, and service to God is still the goal! Since the doors opened, all students who enroll at Central Baptist College, regardless of their academic major, must complete 9 hours of Bible courses. Students are required to attend weekly Chapel services, where they experience a time of student led worship followed by a Biblically sound message. A small group Bible study program is available, and Mustangs on a Mission, which started in 2009 as a oneday service project, is being expanded so that CBC students can serve the greater Conway community and share what Christ is doing in their lives on an annual basis. The great thing about CBC is that whether students are here to study Missions or Business or Education, to participate on an athletic team, or to sing in a music group, they will all have the opportunity to learn about and grow in Christ. Some students have grown up in church all of their lives, while some students will hear the Gospel message for the first time at Central Baptist College, maybe in Chapel or possibly in a Bible class. Regardless of a student's background, each student will be given the opportunity to experience Christ in a new way and be transformed by the experience.
12
CHAPEL Chapel services are provided to promote the Christian ideals of Central Baptist College and personal spiritual growth through testimony, preaching, and music. Each chapel service is designed to glorify God, foster the Christian community, and provide biblical direction for daily living. A full listing of chapel regulations can be found in the Student Life Handbook available at www.cbc.edu, or in the Student Services Office.
NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION Students entering Central Baptist College for the first time have the opportunity to participate in new student orientation. The goal of orientation is to make the transition from high school to college, or from one college to another, as easy a transition as possible. Orientation allows students to meet their new peers, learn college policies, register for classes, and understand more information regarding college life at Central Baptist College. Orientation programs include Summer Orientation, the Summer Overnight Experience, Mustangs Under Development Week (M.U.D. Week), and CBC 1201. Information about these programs is available on our website and is mailed to all new students once conditionally accepted.
PERSONAL ASSISTANCE At some time in a student’s college career, he or she may encounter problems of a spiritual, personal, social, financial, or academic nature that the student does not feel equipped to handle alone. Central wants to help. Spiritual, personal, and social problems: All Central administrators and faculty stand ready to help with student problems. Student Services Staff Members are prepared to assist students and can refer them to the proper person or department for help or more information. CBC offers professional counseling services through a licensed counselor. Some student issues may extend beyond those that CBC employees are comfortable or equipped with handling. In such a case, a referral to the appropriate agency will be made. In addition to these services, administration and faculty members are available to speak to students regarding individual needs.

FEDERAL STUDENT AID SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS POLICY Federal and State regulations require all schools participating in state and federal financial aid programs to have a Standard of Satisfactory Academic Progress
25
(SAP). The standard will be applied to all applicants and recipients of financial aid as a determination of eligibility. These standards are applicable to all students whether they are eligible for the Title IV funding or not. This standard requires an evaluation schedule, a quantitative standard (pace of completion and maximum time frame), and a qualitative standard.
Evaluation Schedule Central Baptist College will review SAP annually following the spring semester. At the end of each spring semester, the Registrar’s Office will provide the Financial Aid Office with a list of students, attempted hours, completed hours, and cumulative GPA. This is what is used to determine SAP. Academic progress will be reviewed at the end of each academic year to determine future eligibility. SAP will also be reviewed on the 10th day of class at the beginning of each year to determine if student is sufficiently working towards the completion of a degree in the 150% maximum allowable time frame. Only classes a student is enrolled in on the 10th day of class will be considered. CBC may disburse a Pell grant, Loan, etc. to an eligible student ONLY after we determine that the student has met SAP for the payment period. Students not meeting these requirements after one academic year will lose future aid eligibility. If a student fails to meet SAP, they will receive a letter from the financial aid office stating they have lost eligibility.
Quantitative Requirement 1. Pace of Completion – Students must successfully complete at least 67% of the hours attempted. Successfully completing attempted hours means earning a letter grade of D or higher. Some courses may have a specific passing grade requirement. In such cases, the student must earn the specified grade to be considered to have successfully completed the hours. A student may take a class for grade forgiveness, but until the new grade is posted after a subsequent semester, for the purpose of Satisfactory Academic Progress, the financial aid office will use the existing grade. 2. Maximum Time Frame – Federal regulation states that the maximum allowable time frame to complete a degree is 150% of the published length of the educational program. For example, students enrolled in a degree program requiring 120 credit hours are eligible to receive Title IV aid for a total of 180 attempted credit hours. Meeting the requirements of the Maximum Time Frame Regulation can be negatively affected by withdrawal from a course.
26
Withdrawal From a Course If a student wishes to withdraw from a course, he or she must begin the process by obtaining a withdrawal slip from the Registrar’s Office and complete the entire course withdrawal process (see Registration Policies in the Course Catalog). Ceasing to attend class does not constitute a withdrawal from the course. Students who do not complete the proper withdrawal procedures will receive an “F” for the course. In addition, a final grade of “W” (withdrawn) will not count as a completed class when evaluating SAP.
Withdrawal From All Courses If a traditional student wishes to withdraw from all courses, he or she must request a “Permit to Withdraw” from the Registrar’s Office. If a PACE student wishes to withdraw form all courses, he or she must complete the “PACE Withdrawal Form” which is located on the institutions website. A student must complete the entire process (see Registration Policies in the CBC Course Catalog). Properly following this procedure will result in a grade of “WP” for each class. A grade of “WP” will not affect the qualitative standard (GPA) of SAP, but will affect the quantitative standard. It will also count towards the 150% maximum allowable time frame. The Registrar’s office will note the final grades on the student’s transcript. Students who do not officially withdraw will be administratively withdrawn and given a grade of “F” for all courses registered for that semester. The Registrar’s Office will also notify the Financial Aid office of the student’s last day of attendance. The date of a student’s last day of attendance will be used in determining how much, if any, of the student’s federal aid must be returned (see the CBC Return of Title IV Funds Policy). If a student withdraws before 60% of the semester is completed, part or all of the student’s federal aid must be sent back and institutional aid will be prorated.
Incomplete Classes Incomplete classes will result in a grade of “I”, and will be considered the same as an “F” when evaluating SAP. A student MUST do the work to complete the class in order for the “I” to be changed to an actual letter grade (A, B, C, D, or F) by the last day to enroll in the following term. Grades left as an “I” will not count toward the quantitative or qualitative requirements. Classes taken and left with an “I” grade will count towards the 150% maximum allowable time frame.
27
Qualitative Requirement Satisfactory academic progress is also monitored through a student’s grades. Total number of hours completed by Student 1 – 29 total hours (Freshman status) 30-59 total hours (Sophomore status) 60 or more total hours (Junior status)
Required Cumulative GPA 1.50 cumulative GPA 1.75 cumulative GPA 2.00 cumulative GPA
A Grade Point Average of 2.0 is equivalent to a C average. Grading Scale used at CBC: 90 – 100 = A 80 – 89 = B 70 – 79 = C 60 – 69 = D 59 or below = F Remedial classes will be counted towards the 150% maximum allowable timeframe AND will be considered in the review of SAP .
The complete satisfactory academic progress policy, along with all other Financial Aid policies can be found on the CBC Web site under the Financial Aid home page. Printed copies are also available in the Financial Aid Office. Any student receiving federal aid must read and agree to this SAP policy before any aid can be disbursed.
Loss of Aid – Regaining Eligibility A student who loses Federal Student Aid eligibility because he/she is not meeting SAP will regain eligibility when it is determined that he/she is again meeting the standards or when an appeal has been approved. Notification of Grade Change – If a student’s grade changes after grades were initially posted, it is the student’s responsibility to notify the financial aid office of this grade change. If the student meets the standards for satisfactory academic progress after the grade change, financial aid will be reinstated .
28
Appeals Process Students may be able to re-establish eligibility for aid by citing extenuating circumstances which have caused a hardship. Students may file an appeal by completing an Appeal for Financial Aid Reinstatement form and presenting supporting documents to the Financial Aid Director/Appeal Committee. Extenuating circumstances are generally beyond one’s control, such as an automobile accident, an illness, or death of a family member. Approvals or denials are made at the discretion of the Appeal Committee. Appeals must be submitted to the Financial Aid Office at least one week before class starts of the semester for which the appeal is being made. Any appeals made without supporting documents will not be considered. The Appeal Committee will review the appeal and issue its decision in writing to the student within 5 business days. SAP will be reviewed again at the end of the spring term. The student must be meeting SAP policy at that time in order to retain eligibility for future academic years. If an appeal is denied, the student will be responsible for his or her own educational costs. After completing a term, the student can complete another Appeal for Financial Aid Reinstatement form if he or she has completed enough hours to once again be in compliance with the SAP policy. Then, if SAP standards are met, aid will be reinstated for future semesters. The completion of additional self-paid semesters or filing an appeal does not guarantee regaining aid eligibility. A student MUST show academic progress.
Academic Plan The Financial Aid Director/Appeal Committee may choose to compose an academic plan for a student. The academic plan can require that a student meet a specified number of hours per semester or a specific GPA other than the requirement of the SAP. Students placed on an academic plan must meet the requirements of that plan in order to retain federal student aid eligibility for future terms.
Transfer Students The Admissions office at CBC will notify the Financial Aid office of any students transferring from another institution. All transcripts from previous institutions attended will be reviewed by the Registrar’s Office. Only those hours that transfer are counted when determining student’s grade level. (e.g. A students takes 30 hours at College #1, but after review, only 25 of those transfer to CBC. The student will be considered at a freshman level when determining aid amounts.) However, the full transcript will be reviewed in order to determine SAP and aid eligibility for CBC. Also, Central Baptist College will also count all credits from previous schools toward the maximum allowable time frame for degree completion. (150% of the published length of the educational program).
29
Pro-Rata Refund First-time students at Central Baptist College receiving Title IV financial aid who do not complete 60% of an enrollment period for which they were charged will receive a pro-rata refund consistent with the amount of time remaining in the term.

APPLICANTS WITH FELONY RECORDS Introduction • • • • •
The purpose of this administrative policy statement is to clarify institutional procedures on the admission of students with felony records. All information provided by the applicant is confidential. Applicants with felony records will be considered on an individual basis. Central Baptist College reserves the right to refuse enrollment and/or on campus housing to any applicant convicted of a felony. Any person who has been convicted of a felony and wishes to enroll at Central Baptist College in either the Traditional or PACE programs will be subject to the following policies and procedures.
Policies and Procedures The application for admission asks if the prospective student has been convicted of a felony. If that question is marked YES, that prospective student will then be subject to the following policies and procedures. 1.
Once the application for admission is received the Admissions Office will request the additional required admissions documents to determine if the student is academically admissible.
2.
If the applicant is not academically admissible, he/she will be notified of the rejection on academic grounds by the Admissions Office.
3.
If the applicant is academically admissible, the Admissions Office will forward the applicant’s information to the Dean of Students.
4.
The Dean of Students will request the following information: a. An explanatory statement regarding the felony record. This statement should be notarized and include the following information: • Date of Felony(ies) Conviction • Previous Felony(ies) Convictions • Classification of the Felony(ies) • Was the Felony a crime against a person or property? • Current Status of probation or parole and any incarceration
37
b. Court documentation showing sentencing and conviction c. Letter from the probation/parole officer who supervises the student that includes verification of the information presented in the explanatory statement, their recommendation concerning the student’s enrollment at CBC, their plan for following up with the student while enrolled at CBC, and contact information d. Consent to a criminal background check NOTE: This information will be used to evaluate the circumstances surrounding the felony conviction. Since felonies only involve serious crimes, Central Baptist College seeks to do all it can to ensure the safety of its students and employees by looking into the details of each situation. 5.
The Dean of Students will conduct a personal interview with the applicant and the applicant’s parents, if the applicant is a dependent child.
6.
The Admissions Office and Dean of Students will present their recommendations to the Admissions Committee. The Admissions Committee must consider whether the admission of the applicant would represent a present or potential danger to students, faculty, staff, visitors or property of the institution. Admission conditions may be based on reasonable requirements as to conduct or performance as recommended by the Dean of Students (i.e. mandatory counseling, random drug testing, mentoring, regular meetings with the Dean of Students, being ineligible to live in on campus housing, etc.).
7.
When the decision is made, the applicant will be notified by the Admissions Office.
Faxed Documents The Admission’s and Registrar’s offices will accept faxed copies of transcripts for advising purposes only. Original, official transcripts will be required to meet admission requirements. Other faxed documents will be considered official.
38
ACADEMIC POLICIES Academic Advising Students are assigned an advisor when they initially enroll based on their declared major. Advisors assist in making choices concerning course selection, scheduling, and degree plans. Students are responsible for reading the CBC catalog and making choices necessary to complete degree requirements. When students change degree programs, they will be assigned an appropriate advisor. Students who will ultimately complete their degree at another institution are responsible for obtaining degree requirements from that institution. This will help advisors assist students in proper course selection for transfer. Transfer students must have their transcripts from all colleges and universities attended evaluated by the Registrar before registering for classes at CBC.
Academic Credit The traditional credit hour represents one fifty-minute lecture per week for fifteen weeks. At least two hours of laboratory work are required to equal one hour of lecture. Thirty minutes of private music instruction per week is equivalent to one credit hour, and fifty minutes of private music instruction per week is equivalent to two credit hours. For every course credit hour, the typical student should expect to spend at least three clock hours per week of concentrated attention on course-related work, including but not limited to time attending class, as well as out-of-class time spent reading, reviewing, organizing notes, preparing for upcoming quizzes/ exams, problem solving, developing and completing projects, and other activities that enhance learning. Thus, for a three hour course, a typical student should expect to spend at least nine hours per week dedicated to the course. PACE and online courses earn one semester hour credit for 45 minutes of academic activity. This activity may include but is not limited to the following: real-time lecturing (in class or via Zoom), online learning tutorials, projects, forum discussions, preparation required for students to engage in the course, and assignments used for the assessment of student learning.
Academic Honors The Dean’s List is published at the end of each semester. To qualify for this honor, a degree seeking student must be enrolled in 12 or more semester hours, earn a 3.50 grade point average for the semester, and have no incomplete grades at the end of the term. The President’s List is also published at the end of each semester. To qualify for this honor, a degree seeking student must be enrolled in 12 or more semester hours, earn a 4.00 grade point average for the semester, and have no incomplete grades at the end of the term.
39
Academic Semesters and Sessions The academic year consists of a fall and a spring semester. The duration of the traditional semester is 15 weeks. The duration of the PACE, or non-traditional semester, is 20 weeks. The duration of a summer session can be either 5 weeks or 10 weeks.
Academic Standing The academic standing of all students is evaluated at the end of each semester. Students who meet the following scholastic requirements are considered in good standing. Hours 1-29 30-59 60+
Cumulative GPA 1.50 1.75 2.00
Students who do not meet these scholastic requirements will be placed on academic probation. If students placed on academic probation fail to make satisfactory progress during the following semester, they will be placed on final academic probation. Students who are placed on final academic probation must meet the required standard, as outlined above, within one semester. Academic suspension will be for one traditional (fall, spring) semester. Students returning from academic suspension will be placed on final academic probation. Students who are placed on academic suspension for more than one time must wait one year before returning as a student. While on academic suspension, students may not earn credit at another institution and attempt to transfer those hours to CBC. The Registrar may continue a student’s current academic standing if there is evidence of satisfactory progress towards earning a degree.
40
Additional Credit A student may be allowed a maximum of 15 hours credit earned by examination toward an associate’s degree and 30 hours toward a bachelor’s degree. Advanced Placement Credit (AP) CBC will grant credit to entering freshmen for courses successfully completed in the Advanced Placement Program of The College Board. Credit will be given based on the AP exam score and awarded after they have completed 12 credit hours at CBC. CBC’s AP code is 0788. Subject

Attendance 1.
Attendance at all lectures and labs is expected of all students and is regarded as a course requirement.
2.
When absences from class are excused, the student may, at the discretion of the instructor, be allowed to make up work. The responsibility for initiating make-up work rests with the student. Arrangements for such work are to be made with the instructor on the first day the student returns from an excused absence. Absences may be excused by the instructor for the following reasons: A. Illness of the student which is certified by a physician or, in the judgment of the instructor, is serious enough to warrant an excuse. Students should contact their professors if they miss class due to an illness; B. Other personal demands which, in the judgment of the instructor, are serious enough to warrant an excuse; C. External interference judged by the instructor to be legitimate and unavoidable through normal precaution; and D. Institutional field trips, choral/band activities, and sports for which the sponsor provides written notice to the faculty prior to the function. Students who participate in these activities should understand that they cannot exceed the maximum number of absences allowed for each class. NOTE: If an instructor considers the absence unexcused, the student may request review of that judgment by the Academic Affairs Committee. This request is to be made immediately following notification by the instructor that the absence is unexcused.
3.
During a semester, a student may miss (excused or unexcused) no more than twice the number of lectures or other regularly scheduled class activities that would normally be scheduled during a week. Absences in excess of that number may result in the student being administratively withdrawn with a grade of “WF.� For example, a student may be withdrawn upon the seventh absence in a 3 hour course meeting three times a week or on the fifth absence in a 3 hour class meeting two times a week. For other classes, see the class syllabus for specific details. NOTE: This is the general institutional attendance policy. Instructors have the right to modify the attendance policy to meet class objectives. If this is the case, the course syllabus takes priority over the general institutional attendance policy.
43
Audit A student may audit a course with no credit to be awarded. Students who are auditing a course can change the status to credit no later than the fifth day of classes. Auditors are expected to meet all class requirements other than examinations and written papers. The audit fee is one half the normal tuition fee for the course. Senior Citizens, who are age 65 or older, may audit classes without paying tuition. In order for this tuition waiver to be granted, there must be a seat available, and the student must pay any applicable course fees and purchase the required textbooks or notes.
Change of Address or Name Students may update their address information through MYCBC Portal on the institutions website or contact the Registrar’s Office. In order to change a name, the student must provide proof of change with the Social Security Administration and Federal Financial Aid Processor if applicable to the Registrar.
Classification Freshman: Sophomore: Junior: Senior:
students who have completed 1-29 credit hours. students who have completed 30-59 credit hours. students who have completed 60-89 credit hours. students who have completed 90+ credit hours.
Course Load A full-time load is considered to be 12 to 18 credit hours per traditional semester and 3 to 4 credit hours per summer session. Students may take an increased course load during a traditional term if they have earned a 3.00 grade point average in the preceding semester in which they were enrolled for at least 12 hours. Permission to exceed 18 credit hours must be approved by the Registrar. The maximum course limit for any semester is 21 hours.
Course Numbering System Each course is identified by a 3 letter department code and a four digit number code. The first digit of the number code indicates the level of the course (i.e. 0 = remedial, 1 = freshman, 2 = sophomore level, etc.); the second number specifies the number of credit hours; the third and fourth digits identify the particular course.
Course Prerequisites Students may not enroll in a course before successfully completing the prerequisites to that course. The instructor may administratively withdraw any student who has not fulfilled the prerequisite to a particular course.
44
Course Repetition A student may repeat a course taken at CBC for the purpose of grade point adjustment if the student re-enrolls in the same course at CBC. Courses repeated at other institutions and transferred to CBC will not change the grade point average but can satisfy degree credit. There is no limit on the number of course repetitions. If a student chooses to repeat a course, the latest grade will be used to calculate the grade point average, but the former grade, although not figured in the grade point average, will remain on the transcript. Courses being repeated count toward total hours enrolled in a current semester. Students receiving Veteran’s Administration benefits must check with the Veterans Administration Certifying Official in the Registrar’s office before repeating a class in order to determine eligibility for enrollment certification. No grade point adjustment will be calculated for courses repeated after a degree is conferred.
Disability Support Services Central Baptist College offers Disability Support Services to all eligible students. The office of Disability Support Services coordinates support for students whose disabilities impact learning. This office assists the college in creating an accessible community where students with disabilities have an equal opportunity to fully participate in the CBC educational experience. It is the students’ responsibility to identify with the Disability Support Services office, and provide verifiable documentation of a disability. Early planning is necessary to have accommodations in place in time for the beginning of each semester. Services can only be determined once all appropriate and requested materials are submitted by the student to the Disability Support Services personnel.
Grade Appeal Policy If a student believes an error in grading has occurred, the student shall formally initiate a review of the grade no later than three weeks after the beginning of the next term. It is the student’s responsibility to verify with the instructor the accuracy of the recorded scores and the final reported grade as the first step of the process. If the grade differences have not been resolved through discussion with the instructor, and the student seeks additional mediation, the student should contact the chair of the department. If the instructor is also the chair of the department, the student should contact the division chair. If the matter is not resolved after meeting with the department chair or division chair, the student may initiate a formal appeals process by contacting the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
45
The following procedures must be followed to make a formal grade appeal:
1.
2.
3.
The student must submit a grade appeal letter to the Vice President for Academic Affairs within two weeks of meeting with the department chair or the division chair. The letter should explain the reason for the appeal, citing specific examples that support the grievance. The Vice President for Academic Affairs will give a copy of the student’s letter to the instructor and ask him or her to prepare a written response to the grievance. The Academic Affairs Committee will review both letters and make a decision regarding the grade appeal. In some cases, the student and/or the instructor may be asked to make statements and/or answer questions. A final written decision will be given to the student
Grading System CBC has a four-point grading scale with the following symbols and values: Grade Definition Grade Points A Excellent 4.00 B Good 3.00 C Average 2.00 D Below Average 1.00 F Failure 0.00 I* Incomplete 0.00 S Satisfactory 0.00 U Unsatisfactory 0.00 AU Audit 0.00 W Withdrew Before 12th Week 0.00 WP Withdrew Passing 0.00 WF* Withdrew Failing 0.00 CR Credit 0.00 NC No Credit 0.00 Grade point average is computed by dividing the total number of grade points by the total number of hours attempted. The cumulative grade point average includes only courses taken at CBC. *Calculates as an F in the grade point average.
46

All library books and athletic equipment must be returned. Students who wish to transfer credit hours to CBC to complete their degree must do so within three years of their last semester of attendance to remain under the same catalog; otherwise, they will be required to meet the degree requirements of the current catalog.
Degree Audit Students are responsible for monitoring their progress toward a degree. The Registrar’s Office can assist students by providing a degree audit. Associate candidates are encouraged to have a degree audit prepared at the beginning of their sophomore year. Bachelor candidates are encouraged to have a degree audit prepared at the beginning of their junior year. An audit will be prepared at the time a candidate applies for graduation. Graduation Honors Academic honors will be conferred upon candidates who have earned the following cumulative grade point average: Summa Cum Laude 4.000 to 3.900 Magna Cum Laude 3.899 to 3.700 Cum Laude 3.699 to 3.500 Determination of honors status for the commencement ceremony is made at the end of the fall semester. However, the actual honors earned at the completion of all degree requirements will be noted on the transcript and diploma. No candidate will receive academic honors who has been placed on disciplinary probation.
47
Commencement Although students may complete the requirements for graduation in fall, spring, and summer, CBC holds only one commencement ceremony annually. Participation in the May ceremony is contingent upon either the completion of all required courses or being within 7 credit hours of completion. The May commencement is an important tradition at CBC because it allows the college community an opportunity to celebrate with the graduates and their families and to publicly recognize its graduates. Graduation Rates Graduate rates are calculated annually and are available on the institutions website.
Honor Code As our mission statement indicates, Central Baptist College is a community of learners dedicated to the integration of Christian faith and academic excellence. To achieve this aim, we must act with honor and integrity; therefore, we hold ourselves accountable. We will refrain from all academic fraud. We will not misrepresent our work, help others to cheat, or receive unauthorized aid on a test or other assignment. We will endeavor to reflect the excellence of Christ in all we say and do.
Incomplete Grade A student receiving an incomplete grade in any course may fulfill the course requirements and receive a proper grade within one semester. The student is responsible for making arrangements with the instructor to fulfill the course requirements. If course requirements are not fulfilled within the allotted time, the “I” will be replaced with an “F.” For scholarship and financial aid purposes, the “I” must be replaced with a grade by the last date to enroll for the following term. An “I” is calculated as an “F” in the grade point average.
Military Science Credit CBC students may register for military science (Army ROTC) credit. Military science satisfies physical education activity requirements. Classes are taught at the University of Central Arkansas in Conway. Students who plan to earn this credit must meet with UCA ROTC department for approval, then submit their registration to the CBC Registrar’s office.

ACADEMIC DIVISIONS HUMANITIES AND ARTS Dr. Melvin Bender, Division Chair The Division of Humanities and Arts fosters critical engagement in the study of diverse literature and languages, history and cultures, visual and performing arts, and Bible and church ministries.
Bible Department The Bible Department offers programs in several areas of professional ministry. These areas include pastoral studies, missions, religious education, and youth ministry. The curriculum is designed to provide students with the skills and theoretical knowledge needed for effective ministry. Graduates of the department should be able to do the following: 1) demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of the Bible, its geography, history, and doctrines, 2) give evidence of sufficient knowledge of the Greek language to use Greek lexicons and other such helps in independent study (BA Only), 3) exhibit a reasonable proficiency in preaching and/or teaching the Word of God, 4) defend the Bible as the inspired Word of God and the complete rule of faith and practice, 5) manifest skill for personal and group evangelism, 6) show knowledge of and leadership ability in the various functions of the church, 7) and demonstrate a reverence for God, His work, His Word, and His people. The BA and BS Bible degrees expose students to biblical organization and content, providing an understanding of biblical interpretation, history and expansion of Christianity, development of Christian doctrine, and an understanding of Baptist theology. In addition, the BA degree also provides students with skills, tools, and techniques for intensive biblical exegesis and exposition. The language core, which emphasizes New Testament Greek, prepares students for further biblical training, the pastoral ministry, and intensive biblical research. The BA degree is recommended for students who plan to pursue a graduate degree.
Fine Arts Department The Fine Arts Department prepares students for careers in performance, teaching, music ministry, and other music-related careers. Within a Christcentered environment, this department develops students’ overall musicianship through: (1) applied performance (private lessons on piano, voice, or guitar), culminating in the senior recital, (2) group performance, (2) the practice of aural dictation, sight singing, harmonic analysis, part-writing and beginning composition exercises, (3) the study of classical and sacred music from all
59
periods of music history, and, for those taking musical theatre courses, Broadway-style music. Appropriate preparation for college-level music study is essential for students, which usually includes several years of private lessons and participation in choir, band, or orchestra. If students are not adequately prepared for collegelevel music study, which is determined by auditions and theory placement exams, they may be accepted conditionally. However, remedial piano and theory courses will need to be taken, which may add additional semesters to the degree plan. Because piano study is fundamental to the study of music, all music and worship arts majors must enroll in piano every semester until all aspects of the Piano Proficiency are passed with a grade of C or better. Students who have not passed the Piano Proficiency by the end of the fourth semester, will be reevaluated by the music faculty to determine if they should continue in the program, or if they should consider other educational opportunities at Central Baptist College. The Fine Arts Department offers two degrees: the Bachelor of Arts in Music, which requires a minor, and the Bachelor of Science in Worship Arts, which does not require a minor. Students who hope to pursue a graduate degree in Performance, Music History, or Music Theory/Composition, usually choose the BA in Music degree. Students enrolled in the BA in Music degree program who do not wish to minor outside of music, may complete the Musical Theatre Minor for the Music Major. While both Bachelor degrees require the performance of standard classical repertoire, the BS in Worship Arts is designed for those interested in music ministry. It is a well-balanced program that grounds students in both the historical foundations and contemporary forms and styles of Christian worship, equipping the student for music ministry in the local church. Worship Arts majors are exposed to a variety of styles of worship music and have opportunities to plan and lead worship in such courses as Hymnology, Contemporary Worship Music, Writing Songs for Worship, and Worship Band. The Fine Arts Department encourages talented students whose majors are outside of music to consider one of the following eighteen-hour minors: Music, Worship Arts, and Musical Theatre for the Non-Music Major. Students can also audition for a number of performing groups: Band, Handbells, Chamber Singers, Singers, Women’s Chorus, Worship Band, and Worship Choir.
Literature and Language Arts Department This department seeks to provide opportunities and resources for students to develop their written communications skills, engage in research, and to expand their personal and cultural awareness. Courses within the department focus
60
primarily on reading, writing, research and language. Classes include listings for composition, literature, Spanish, Latin, and film and theatre appreciation. The degrees offered are Bachelor of Arts in English, English minor and Spanish minor.
Social Studies Department The Social Studies Department seeks to equip students with sufficient skills to be contributing citizens of the world while undergoing preparation for the world to come. This will include — but is not limited to — the acquisition and demonstration of the ability to make informed decisions for the public good while living in a culturally diverse and interdependent world. The department offers courses in the disciplines of geography, history, political science, leading to both a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Science degrees. Interested students can also acquire a minor in history.
LEARNING RESOURCES Ms. Rachel Whittingham, Division Chair The Learning Resources Division exists to provide students and faculty with academic support and information resources in engaging and supportive learning environments that promote academic and lifelong success. The Division encompasses the Story Library, the campus Assessment Department, and Record Retention Services. It also serves to coordinate the Higher Learning Commission’s Assurance System and offers guidance for copyright issues for students, faculty, and staff.
NATURAL & HEALTH SCIENCES Dr. Elizabeth Gomez, Division Chair The Division of Natural & Health Sciences at Central Baptist College exists to assist students in pursuing God’s call on their lives in graduate studies and careers related to the disciplines of the natural and social sciences. Majors are offered in Biology, Health Sciences, Kinesiology and Molecular Biosciences. Baccalaureate degrees may be tailored to accommodate the needs of students preparing for graduate studies in athletic training, biology, chiropractic, dentistry, medicine (allopathic or osteopathic), occupational therapy, optometry, pharmacy, physical therapy, physician’s assistant or veterinary medicine. The Associate’s Degree in General Education (Science Emphasis), through judicious choice of electives, satisfies the course requirements for the various nursing programs in this region. The division also provides content coursework for
61
students preparing for teacher licensure in Middle-Level Education (math & science). All students of Central Baptist College interact with the faculty of this division through general education courses in astronomy, biology, chemistry, mathematics, physical science and physics.
Kinesiology Department The Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Exercise Science prepares a student for career opportunities related to health and wellness in schools, communities, hospitals, commercial health and fitness clubs, and state, federal and corporate wellness programs. The program also seeks to fulfill prerequisites to professional schools in allied health fields (for example physical therapy and occupational therapy). The Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Sports Management prepares students to career opportunities in various areas of sports management. The student will receive both a strong background in sports and a strong business component, allowing him or her to develop the competencies required for management level positions in organized sports. Professional sport teams, college athletic departments, sports communication and public relations firms, sports agencies, health and fitness facilities, and parks and recreation departments are some of the businesses and organizations for which graduates will be qualified to work. The ultimate objective of the Kinesiology degree is to provide in a Christian atmosphere the education and training essential for successful employment or continued educational pursuits after graduation.
Math and Science Department A high demand exists for trained professionals in biomedical and health care fields. The Math and Science Department seeks to prepare students for health care professional programs of study and careers that require math and science skills. The department offers degrees that will prepare students for pre-medicine, pre-veterinary, pre-dental, pre-pharmacy, pre-occupational therapy, pre-physical therapy, pre-nursing, pre-dental hygiene, pre-radiological technician, prerespiratory therapy, pre-dietician as well as the foundation for applying for PhD programs in the sciences. The science center is equipped with state-of-the-art laboratory and teaching technologies, and includes two chemistry labs, three biology labs, and two research labs. Three Bachelor of Science degree programs are offered: Biology, Health Sciences, and Biotechnology. A Bachelor of Arts in Biology degree is also offered to students wishing to work in the administrative health care field. An Associate of Arts with Science Emphasis is also available for students entering specialized health sciences degree or certification programs. Students
62
pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Science are required to participate in mentored hands-on research activities on campus.
Pre-Professional Programs As a result of increased job opportunities, better pay, and the many scientific advances that have been made over the past few years, many students are considering a career as a health care practitioner.

The Education Department offers Bachelor of Science in Education (BSE) degrees in Elementary Education, Middle Level Education, Secondary Life Science Education, Secondary English/Language Arts Education, Secondary Social Studies Education, and Health and Physical Education. The Teacher Education Program at Central Baptist College is a candidate for accreditation by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP). Candidacy status means that the CBC Teacher Education Program has met preconditions for accreditation but is not accredited. This candidacy covers initial teacher preparation programs at the CBC campus in Conway, AR. However, the candidacy does not include individual education courses that the Education Preparation Provider (EPP) offers to K-12 educators for professional development, re-licensure, or other purposes. Programs in the areas of Elementary, Middle Level, Secondary English/Language Arts, Secondary Social Studies, and Health and Physical Education have been approved by the Arkansas Department of Education (ADE) and candidates who successfully complete these programs will be recommended for state teacher licensure. Interested parties may contact the CBC Education Department Chair for more information on the accreditation and program approval processes as they pertain to the Central Baptist College Teacher Education Program. CBC education students progress through five levels as they consider, begin, and complete the requirements of the Teacher Education Program. These levels are described in detail below. Level 0—Orientation Students are enrolled in Central Baptist College and will begin their degree program, focusing on fulfilling their general education and Bible core course requirements. Students interested in pursuing teacher education should also take EDU 1230 and EDU 1310 (with required clinical experience). These courses provide students with an introduction to the various education programs at CBC and allow students the opportunity to explore the options of an education major. Students also receive an orientation to the field of teaching and begin to identify and develop the basic skills necessary for becoming a teacher. Students who wish to pursue a degree in education are expected to take and pass the Praxis Core examinations and apply for formal admission to the Central
65
Baptist College Teacher Education Program. Completion of these tasks generally occurs during the second semester of the sophomore year. Level 1—Admission to the Teacher Education Program Formal admission to the Teacher Education Program is required for all students wishing to complete a teacher education degree program and be recommended for licensure in a teaching field. This is generally done during a student’s sophomore or junior year of study. Entry into Level 1 is a preliminary screening process that ensures prospective candidates demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and dispositions outlined in the Conceptual Framework and necessary for becoming a teacher. Admission to the program is required prior to a student enrolling in upper-division professional courses, and is a prerequisite for some content courses, as well. The standards for admission into the CBC Teacher Education Program are: • Cumulative 2.7 grade point average (GPA) on all course work attempted. Transfer students must include all course work accepted by CBC for credit from other institutions they have attended. Transfer students must also have a 2.7 GPA on a minimum of 12 credit hours at CBC. • Successful completion of a minimum of 45 credit hours, with a minimum of 12 credit hours completed at CBC • Praxis Core scores at or above current Arkansas minimum passing scores: Reading (Test 5712): 156, Writing (Test 5722): 162, Mathematics (Test 5732): 150 • Grades of ‘C’ or higher in ENG 1300, ENG 1301, MTH 1303, and SPH 2300. • Grades of ‘C’ or higher in EDU 1310 and EDU 1230. • Submission of 3 recommendations for admission from CBC faculty (including one from advisor and/or EDU 1310 instructor) • Written clearance from Student Services office • Submission of CBC Teacher Education Program application, including required essay & dispositions self-assessment • Completion to Arkansas State Police, FBI, and Child Maltreatment Central Registry background check • Submission of FERPA release form and Enumerated Offenses statement Prospective candidates who are denied admission may apply again after completing at least one additional semester and resolving the deficiencies noted. Retention in the Teacher Education Program Continuation in the Teacher Education Program is dependent upon a candidate maintaining the requirements for initial admission into the program. Specifically, candidates are expected to maintain a 2.7 (or higher) cumulative GPA, successfully complete all professional courses (including required clinical components) with grades of ‘C’ or higher, remain in good standing with the
66
Student Services office, and maintain satisfactory evaluations of professional behaviors and dispositions by CBC faculty. Candidates who do not maintain these requirements will be placed on probation and notified of specific expected behavior(s) to be completed in order to continue in the program or be dismissed from the program. Level 2—Admission to the Clinical Internship Semester The admissions process required prior to enrolling in the Clinical Internship ensures that candidates show abundant evidence of professional competence prior to their full-time placement in an approved public school setting. The standards for admission to the Clinical Internship semester are: • Prior admission to the CBC Teacher Education Program and currently in good standing within the program • Senior standing with a cumulative GPA of 2.7 or above • Grades of ‘C’ or higher in all required professional education courses • Satisfactory completion of all prior clinical experiences • Successful completion of all required courses in the teaching field • Written documentation of successful completion or application to take the PRAXIS II Subject Assessments (Scores that meet or exceed the current ADE minimum scores must be received prior to final placement in Clinical Internship courses) • Submission of Clinical Internship application • Approval of academic advisor • Completion of required background checks Level 3—Program Completion, Graduation, and Licensure Entry into Level 3 of the Teacher Education Program is a final screening process that ensures that candidates have successfully completed the Clinical Internship semester and possess and demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and dispositions identified in the Conceptual Framework and necessary for becoming a teacher. Completion of degree requirements and satisfactory PRAXIS scores are necessary before a candidate may be considered a program completer and be recommended for state teacher licensure. The standards for admission into Level 3 of the Teacher Education Program are: • Cumulative GPA of 2.7 or above • Currently in good standing with the CBC Teacher Education Program • Grades of ‘C’ or higher in all required professional education courses, including the Clinical Internship course(s) • Completion of all courses in the candidate’s program of study (all required general education, Bible, academic content area, and preprofessional and professional courses)

Therefore, program completers will be asked to provide the program with information such as his/her place of employment and responses to a followup survey at the completion of their first year of teaching. The program may also ask graduates’ supervisors to provide information about their performance during their first year of teaching. CBC Teacher Education Program policies and requirements are subject to change in order to comply with ADE and CAEP standards. Should such changes be necessary, students will be informed by their academic advisor. Additional information about the Education Department and the Central Baptist College Teacher Education Program is available by contacting the CBC Education Department Chair.

The Behavioral Sciences Department offers 2 degrees – one in Psychology and Social Services and the other in Psychology and Counseling. Both are offered as either a Bachelor of Science degree or a Bachelor of Arts degree. The BS degrees include nine hours of research and statistics courses related to social services, while the BA degrees allow students to take nine hours of a foreign language. Psychology and Social Services majors may choose to complete the Counseling minor for a full complement of courses in the department.

All students in the Behavioral Sciences department are required to complete 120 hours of field experience during one semester of their junior or senior year. Each student’s field experience is unique and will be tailored to the needs and interests of both the student and the participating organization or agency.
